Art of Africa, Oceania and the Americas

Our annual auction in New York will include a curated selection of the arts of primary cultures from around the world, including important sculpture from sub-Saharan Africa, the Pacific Islands, ancient Mesoamerica and North America. The auction is timed to coincide with the marquee week of Contemporary Art and Impressionist and Modern Art auctions, in a celebration of the historical connections and aesthetic affinities that the arts of these cultures share with modern and contemporary art, as well as the grand opening of Sotheby’s newly re-imagined galleries.  The auction on May 13 will follow Pacific Art from the Collection of Harry A. Franklin.
